Hi! I was wondering if anyone has tried to play with the u-boot sources so far.
I know they're a bit difficult to download since you'll have to copy the whole kobo github account locally. To avoid this I'm hosting a personal copy here:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/29286792/u-boot-2009.08.tar.gz
Personally I'm interested in modifying it in order to boot from the external sd card slot as if it were the internal one, in order to make hacking the firmware easier. I'll start working on it as soon as I receive my new Glo, it should be in the mail in the next days.
